Are they better, though?
I mean, last I checked, Wikipedia is far more accurate than most encyclopedias professionally assembled. And, to add to it: Wikipedia is certainly well sourced, and admits its biases quite openly, and in fact are working to correct those biases.
So, what Chinese-based wikipedia alternatives are out there? And I mean, communally owned, maintained, and edited encyclopedia, which, quite frankly, is one of the best examples of a communist endeavors one can find on the internet at this time…
2·5 hours agoRiseUp.net for both. Disroot.org for email (And other services).
I prefer hearing about it from Marxists far closer to the source, and using China’s own information they publish:

we have child labor in the US too. It’s not legal
A lot of child labor in the US, is in fact, very legal.
From the age of 10-15, working papers can be issued allowing children to deliver newspaper, hawk products on corners, and do limited farm work.
From 15-17, working papers can be issues allowing children to pretty much do any job, with some limitations on hours, and tooling they can use (ie, no automatic sharp tools, like slicers).
Now, these are for my state. Some states are far more exploitative, such as Georgia, where kids as young as 13 can work a fast food joint.
“And our tests have concluded, that this is, in fact, a lie.”
You mean how both China, and the US propagandize their citizens? Yeah, I’m fully aware of that already. All states will do it, as a system of control over the working class, in order to continue to exploit them.
I mean, if controlling the people wasn’t the goal, whats the purpose of the oppression of a state?
If I have bad credit in the US, I don’t get locked out of riding the bus
You might!
I know a lot of areas are switching to digital-only bus fares, and those, of course, require a bank card or credit card…
Guess what can lock you out of getting those, and thereby, riding on the bus?
There’s also no credit-score check in the US for job applications, so no, it doesn’t “lock people out of finding work.”
Do you live in the US? Lots of employers run credit checks as a part of their normal background checking. I’ve see people fired for bad credit scores.
It’s too bad the people of China aren’t allowed to edit Wikipedia, and correct the facts, because of their oppressive state.
People of the US and China are both unsure of what to believe about the other, because both are so propagandized lol
I can speak to go, ruby, and PHP: Their libraries for support is per-spec.
Json is pretty great, and sure, if someone wants to make RSS2, using JSON, that’d be fine. But, RSS came long before JSON was even an idea, and XML was the only way we figured out.
RSS’s format is, in fact, so old, there’s been a huge amount of time refining those language’s libs to support RSS just dandy. You never even need to look at the XML.
3·9 hours agoI mean, it is what it is… The name is over a decade old, and was likely selected because it sounded “technical”. Friendica came about only a couple of years after facebook opened up for the wider public.
There’s very robust libraries for most every language that can parse rss for you easily.
ArsTechnica kinda does this too, but in a nice way. You can pay to subscribe to a better set of curated feeds, as a part of your subscription.
Friendica was the fediverse, before there was a fediverse… And it was no different from other names of the era, like Sym.pati.co… DiGG, Reddit, etc etc.
11·1 day agolol, ok.
It wasn’t a “mutiny” it was a labor strike. And, speaking of which, how does a “Mutiny” happen in a classless society of liberated workers?
And it involved much more than just 300 arrests bro…
National security threat?
So how come Twitter ain’t shut down then?
People are already moving to rednote.
Kronstadt, as one example.
Same way the Neozapatistas have done? By actually showing your system is better, and letting people join your movement. And allow them to leave, if they desire.
